1. Chapter 1:The Coming of the Toa Mata

*This is my first Fanfic. I don't own Ninjago or Bionicle(Lego does). I only own my AU OC: Tahu, Toa of Electricity. Please do not post bad comments if you do not like it.*

It was just another day in Ninjago. The ninja had run out of bad guys to fight quite a while back. After the defeat of the Preeminent, they had returned home. They had also been training Nya in her Water powers as well. Everyone was happy…except for Sensei Wu. He had never mentioned it to anyone else, but there was a prophecy which he had never mentioned to anybody. There were only three people who knew: Garmadon, who was presumably dead, Misako, and himself. Again and again he returned to the scroll, which was called "The Scroll of the Seven Elements". He was still puzzling over it when Misako entered.

"Still looking at the prophecy, I assume."

"Misako, you know the Ninja have been training hard, but this still worries me. I wonder if I should tell them about it. Perhaps I shouldn't tell them."

Misako shook her head. Sensei Wu had always acted like this, mostly out of concern. But it was imperative that the Ninja learned of the Prophecy. "Wu, you waited too long to tell them about the Elemental Masters. You waited too long to tell them about Morro. You waited much too long to tell them about Nya's Elemental Power," she said, "It is time for them to know."

"Very well then. Perhaps it will make this imminent menace not so dangerous."

Misako and Sensei Wu found the Ninja sitting around a campfire not far from the Bounty. Skylor was there too, since she visited them every once in a while. They all grew serious when they saw the concern on Sensei's face. "Our apologies, Sensei. We did not notice your concern."

"It's ok, Zane. I-we just need to tell you Ninja of something important. You have all been training very hard. Nya already has better control of her Power. But there is an imminent threat; one which I fear will be a more than formidable foe, even for you."

"Sensei, we defeated skeletons, snakes, stone warriors, Nindroids, Anacondrai, The Overlord, Master Chen, and the Preeminent," said Kai. "What could possibly be more than formidable?"

"Perhaps it is best if I just tell you about the prophecy itself. The threat is like no other you have faced. All we know is that it is known as the Master of Shadows. The prophecy says that one day, Seven Elemental heroes (AN: (AU) the Toa Metru become the Toa Mata in this fanfic. They did go to Mata Nui, where they live now, but they didn't become Turaga; something else awakens the Matoran. Also, Toa Tahu is one of them; he is a Toa of Electricity and uses other Toa Tools.), known as the Toa Mata, whose power comes from the very elements themselves, will come and stop the threat of shadow," said Sensei Wu.

"Seriously?!" cried Jay, "First you tell us there are others with elemental powers, and now that these guys have powers that come from actual elements?!"

"Yes," replied Sensei Wu, "but we do not know when they will arrive. All we know is we should prepare for their arrival."

All of a sudden, a thunderstorm came out of nowhere, forcing the conversation to an abrupt halt. Everyone ran towards the Bounty for shelter. Once inside, Sensei Wu continued to tell them about the coming of the Toa Mata. However, they were unaware that the thunderstorm was actually an indication of the arrival of one of the Toa: Toa Tahu, the Toa of Electricity, whose Toa Canister had washed up on the beach not far from the Bounty(AN: yes, the Toa Metru arrive on Ninjago via Toa Canisters.). The ninja found it strange that the storm didn't last for more than a couple of minutes, far less than any typical thunderstorm in Ninjago.

The Master of Shadows looked over the horizon and saw the storm over Ninjago. "The Toa have already begun their approach," he rumbled. "I think it's time to think about getting some backup in order to carry out my next master plan." Dark thoughts washed in his mind, and that was when he decided who was going to help him stop the Toa.

*It should be pretty obvious who wants to stop the Toa. Will they ever reunite? Stay tuned for the next chapter*
